Rain is not enough to dampen the excitement over Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's visit to Pensacola.

Thousands of people with umbrellas and panchos waited in long lines outside the Pensacola Civic Center Tuesday morning. The event was moved from the Pensacola Aviation Center because of the huge demand for tickets.

Palin is expected to arrive in Pensacola between one and two o'clock after leading a rally in Jacksonville.

Palin and running mate John McCain have been falling behind Democratic candidate Barack Obama in polls with about a month left
until Election Day. Florida is a critical battleground state with 27 electoral votes up for grabs.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden is planning to hold rallies in Lakeland and Tampa on Tuesday.
